This clear epoxy-finished yellow brass Yamaha 6310Z Bobby Shew model flugelhorn (S/N 402430) is in excellent condition with silky-smooth valves, and no damage except for a tiny ping on the leadpipe where a backup singer hit me with her lipstick. (Backup singers, you gotta love 'em!)
All the slides pull smoothly and compression is excellent.Most important, this horn plays with a warm, mellow, velvety sound. A lot of my trumpet player friends have said it's the best flugel they've ever tried!So why am I selling it? I've been Jonesing for a vintage Scodwell and finally found one so Ms. Yammy has to go.Included is the original Yamaha hard case, which is in excellent condition, and a Bobby Shew model flugelhorn mouthpiece, also in excellent shape.Hope you win her and give her a good home! (One other thing: the piano's not included. Shipping would be prohibitive!)
